counterstrike i cant find it!

[holyfield5]

what retail store sells this, everywhere i go only has half life 2. i remember years and years ago i bought half life 1 and got a mod for counterstrike, but im pretty sure its a seperate game now right? so i cant just buy half life 2 and need to find a box of counterstrike?

[lastchance]

Steam?

[holyfield5]

no! i dont trust those bastards, they want to put spyware on my comp to see how much illegal [censored] i download. must be retail

I've bought source like 3 times or something retail...

you can get is separately (only found it like this once though at gamestop)...

or you can buy half-life 2 which may come with cs:source...just check the box...(most of the half-life 2 retail versions come with other stuff too..usually source, I think)

cs: source individually cost me $30 I think and half-life 2 with source cost me $50

Half Life 2 comes with CS:Source, although you may still have to download it from Steam for free. If you wanna play CS, you have to use Steam (unless if you know something I don't).

CS requires steam to use now. Even for the non source version.

As has been said already if you do get a retail copy it will just install steam and then download the current game files.

You can turn Steam off from being resident all the time and just load it when you play. Also their are privacy agreements so even if they did collect information on you (which I doubt) they wouldn't be able to use it against you.
